Books and notices on Sand Emin Pasha Mahaffy and more
The review picks George Sand’s The Gallant Lords of Bois-Doré as a romantic French work with mixed praise for Steven Clovis’s translation. It also discusses A J Mounteney-Jephson’s Emin Pasha and the Rebellion at the Equator, praising Jephson’s eyewitness detail but noting limits on knowledge of the rear column affair. Additional notes cover Mahaffy’s Greek Pictures Drawn With Pen and Pencil and Edward L. Wilson’s Scripture Lands, both commended for illustrations and scope, with varied reception of the authors’ styles.
